Hi guys, this is my first time ever owning a smart phone and i dont know crap about them.
So my problem is this...
I have personal pics of my gf, is there any cheap or reliable app that can allow me to lock the pics.
I tried DL'ing WMkits photo encrypt but that **** is almost $20 i believe is too much for a phone app.
Now my gf on her iphone can easily access her albums without looking for the folder. She simply clicks on the album, enters the password and tara! pics are there.
Is there anything similar or as fast for the HTC HD2? I'm willing to pay $10 through pay pal to whoever can get me an app or help for this. lol
Thanks!
how abt this one http://www.sharewareconnection.com/viscrypt.htm
awesome! i'm seriuous about the $10 where do i deposit?
Wait, nevermind. It can't run it. FML
Do you want them to be encrypted the moment you take the photo ?
Or, do you want an easy way to use them with a bit of pre-work ?
If so, the last one is easy.
Get FreeOTFE (a freeware file encryption software that is useful for protecting all kinds of info).
Create a volume (container file).
Associate .VOL extension with FreeOTFE (in program options).
Put a link to that file in Start Menu\Programs.
Whenever you click on the shortcut it would bring up FreeOTFE and ask for a password. Once you mount the container it becomes a folder in your system. Any file you put there is automatically encrypted and will be inaccessible the moment you dismount the container.
It still requires you to manually mount and dismount whenever you want to access the files or put new files there.
Resco Explorer also has an encrypt/decrypt feature.

Every day i wake up to my phones built in alarm clock. i usually check the weather once a day with it. i get on facebook/twitter. when i go to the gym i use the key card app to sign in. then use my phone as mp3 player. IM constantly shazamming new songs, then downloading them. i also check my checking account daily with it. if i need to take a pic, its there. constantly using the maps as GPS.
basically what IM saying is i use my phone for everything in my life now, and still feel like there is more i could be using it for. Just wondering what some other people are constantly using there phone for besides the basic phone usage.
I use mine to check and respond to all of my emails. Check my bank accounts, transfer money if I need to. Schedule classes for college. I bought a bluetooth keyboard that I use to type some of my papers on. I sketch some of my designs for stuff I want to make.
However, I still feel that sometimes I spend too much time modding it to make it the "coolest" or most aesthetically pleasing phone, that I never get the chance to actually use it the most of its abilities. I feel you on this one OP.
I have a lot of music videos so I use it as an in dash in my car
A flash light
Navigation/GPS
Music player

i also just bought a pebble watch to pair it with, i also seen the other night on shark tank where i will be able to buy my dead bolt for my house with bluetooth enabled locking. where when i walk up to my house with my phone it will automatically unlock.
I am always looking for ways of using my phone for more and more. And why not, we should all be doing it. It makes sense right? We have forked over a considerable amount of money for this phone, whether in the form of green cash or by signing a contract and paying for it over the months to come. Folks have worked hard, many for no other reward then to make a successful free app. They have toiled to make our device into soo many things. Life would go on without my phone, but it would change drastically.
Alarm wakes me up.
I check the weather.
I browse through emails picking out important ones.
(all before getting out of bed)
I dock it in bathroom and listen to news in the shower
I look up whats on the menu for this morning at the cafeteria at my work to decide if I want that or something from home.
I listen to slacker on my drive to work
No signal at my desk, so I listen to music on and off at work
I use it for its calender to keep tabs on things
When I am up and out of the office, I use it to assist in wireless scans.
I use it for work email when not at my desk.
I keep an eye on it for folks broadcasting private hotspots (prohibited at my work)
I go outside at lunch to the outdoor eatery and browse FB, multiple forums via tapatalk, and so on.
After I get off, I walk do to the gym for a workout before leaving. there I use it for music and tracking my workouts.
Afterwards, I call the wife on my way across the parkinglot to see how her day went.
Get in truck, some more FB for a few minutes, then slacker as I head to pick up kids.
If I'm feeling creative, I have apps that help me pick whats for dinner and how to cook it.
I then goof around on forums on and off through the night and read a plethora of aricles I've been meaning to catch up on with Pocket (formerly read it later)
Kids want to watch some cartoon, why look for remote, I have google TV Revue box, will use the remote app.
On top of all that dailey use stuff I also:
Take hundreds of pictures a week
Read ebooks/PDFs
Practice for tech exams with test sims and "studyblue"
Watch movies while traveling or waiting on appointments
Use the flashlight feature (awesome easy on King Kang)
Remote access to my home server for music, movies, pictures, and other files
Kick off torrents to my home machine remotely
Remote view home security cameras
Use "MyTracks" to map my weekend hikes and cycling
Oh and lets not forget the hours of Temple Run and other games while in the bathroom.
More that I can think of...
Navigation on trips
jump drive
porn
What key card app are you using op
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Me? Kind of.
I use my phone for e-mails, pdfs, documents, internet activity, etc.
However, the iPad I have...now that is pretty much just an e-book reader. Explains why I'll be listing it on eBay shortly!
I have a couple app suggestions to get more use:
Llama - to automate your phone for example when I connect my headphones the music player opens and volume turns up, when I disconnect them the volume goes down
Super video- allows you to do the pop up videos like on the gs3 so you can do other things while watching a video (great for listening to music videos
Go sms pro - really cleans up the messaging interface much better than stock
Also if your running out of battery, I bought 3 batteries and a charger for like 15 bucks

there are so many uses for this device, there are not enough hours in the day, so I have to say no.
Also...we have a S-Pen which most of us forget about.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke

"take a deep breath, make sure to get a good look at it, relax and slowly take it in, the size is overwhelming at first but you will have a happy ending afterwards".

Drawl something, screen shot then edit, and one or two other things. It's a nice to have when needed feature, but I really havnt come to rely on it yet. Perhaps I need to play with it a little more.
s-pen is good for people to sign a receipt(square or intuit) looks more like real signiture then using finger so they cant say it was forged. and just seems more profesional then signing with your finger
OP can u share with us which key card app. What benefits is it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
lets see...
- typical, email (work personal), browsing (luv the search button haha), read books on kindle, listen to books on audible. online radios, iheart and pandora. camera and pics. netflix movies.
- social stuff, facebook, twitter, this site , yahoo messenger, google talk
- ported my phone number to google voice, i make calls on my phone and pc's so everything looks like it comes from one #
- video phone calls using tango or google voice
- google apps that sync everything, all my docs and media sync all on the cloud between my home pc, work pc, and device (google drive, picasa, google chrome/bookmarks, google music etc)
- apps for controlling my directv receiver and samsung tv, no need to track down the remote (that drives me crazy). since my device never leaves my hands.. problem solved!! hahah
ps there is also an app called tvcallnotify that pops up a screen on the tv when i get a phone call/text , and directv app, i schedule recordings if i need to
- public and private media serving, watching videos on my note from my home pc using orb (public) and serviio (private/home). then installing android apps skifta and/or orb live. (used to be able to stream tv to my pc and watch on my note, but orb live on ics doesnt work yet)
- pocketcloud so i can remote into my pc's when i need to access something from my phone (RDP or VNC)
- nintendo emulator gaming (yes super mario bros) and random play store games
- other hackerville stuff, u know root, roms, flashing, tweaks, etc cant forget that hobby
- AND THE BEST THING EVER "WATCHESPN" app. you need time warner for this so guess im lucky.
i know im missing some stuff, but thats the jist of it...
if it's a techie thing, i try to find ways to do it on my phone... so i guess id like to say that i try to use my phone to its full potential... :silly:
I still run servio on my server but have switched to Plex primarily, you should try it if you havnt. Seemed a lot more useful.

I have the Xbox Music pass and have been able to download music for offline play on my Windows 8 PC and Surface RT.
However I am unable to do anything except stream from my Lumina 920. My Microsoft account shows the 920 as an authorized device.
Anyone have any ideas or gotten this to work?

First thing I would ask, is your Xbox music account linked to the Microsoft account used for login on the phone?
When I go to the Xbox Music Store on the phone, all I see are options to download. Tap the song, it asks if I want to download, I hit download, and I'm done.
Yes all devices are linked and verified on the account website.
I am able to download individually but my tablet and PC stay synced
and will automatically download or remove songs. I should not have
to select each song to download on the phone.

I guess what I meant was, when you setup your phone, did you use the same Login as on the other devices....that is associated with Xbox music?
The actions you describe indicate the account on the phone is not the same one used on your xbox music.
For myself, I am noticing strange things with my accounts. I am seeing the correct things, I can download, but, things like playlists do not have the correct number of songs. Owned CD's are not visible on the phone, even though they sync with Xbox music, The entire music experience, though XBOX music is inconsistent.
I just hard reset my device. I added no music. I simply used xbox music. It should make available to me, everything that is currently synced in the Xbox Music Cloud. My playlist lists 83 songs. On my laptop that same playlist is 303 songs. My laptop includes the new CD, RED, by Taylor Swift. I ripped it to the laptop. It is not included in XBOX Music Cloud for some reason. Hence, it is NOT available on my Phone.
So, even though your situation appears to be an account setup issue, I would not for a second, think it could not be just issues with the new XBOX syncing scenarios. This situation also existed early on with WP7 and Zune too.
Hi,
I picked up the 920 this weekend and I too haven't been able to figure out how to connect my 920 to my Windows 8 Pro.
I'm trying to sync up and download my music to 920 from my music library - thinking the same as I did with the Zune client and WP7.x. I tried downloading the Windows Phone App for Desktop beta but it will not install. After I download it, at the install dialog, after the Help make Windows Phone app better, the install does nothing. The Install button is grayed out.
I thought hat using the desktop app would allow me to download my music but no luck.
Sorry for "hi-jacking" this thread but I'd like to know how to resolve this (adding music to my 920 in "bulk").
Thanks

It should work.
The tool isn't in beta anymore...it was released last week. Make sure you have the correct one. The tool is not as graceful as the Zune tool, and should only move existing music to your wp8.

Thanks for the reply. You know, I didn't think about the Windows Phone app from the Store. I am so used to the classic desktop app (like the Zune client), I forgot about the "Store" app.
With that said, when I plug in my 920, I get a "Your phone is having troubles" error message. I tried powering off, changing cables, ports, etc. but nothing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
This issue seems to be widespread and I assume MS will pick it up/fix it soon.
Have been reading about this exact Issue on a lot of news sites.

Also keep in mind, that various news sites often report the same thing. I've not seen or heard of this issue.
Consider this. Do a back up of your device, then hard reset it. Try again. People not hard resetting their devices out of box, do have a higher rate of failure than those that don't.
Plus, with backup in place, its not really that much of PITA to get back up running.

Sorry, there is 1 more thing to try with this.
Try going to xbox.com...or any Microsoft account site, and simply, change your password. See if that does not help.
I recall this recall I did indeed see this message on my phone. But not only on my phone, but every place xbox related that I happened to looking at...I was doing a lot of XBOX Music reading. I connected to chat...eventually, they told me to change my password and immediately all the messages on all the sites went away, and I was able to connect.
Here's the issue...your WP8 device must be set up using your zune/xbox live ID as the default in order for "seamless" use and more importantly downloading of music etc. You can add your other live accts after and have you email/contacts etc...but you can't use another live ID for the default and have XBox/zune working with downloads. This is the same issue on W8 however on the W8, you can work around it by using a local acct and let Xbox/zune log in as your subscription acct. For WP8 though, there is no such workaround.
This plagued me in WP7 and is still here in 8. Don't ask me why I can't just "change my xbox/zune liveid and still have my history/purchases." MS really needs to resolve this but until then...this is the reality and above is how to get it to work with xbox/zune and have your other liveids all on the same device.
Hope thus helps!

Hi,
Thanks for the input. However, I am using my primary Microsoft Account (formerly Live ID) on my phone that is the same as on my PC and Xbox.

How's this different from other competing phones? Android, you have to log in with a specific account to get the goodies. I believe the same with Apple.
Since the premise of primary login, linked screens and services is what Microsoft is trying to achieve, allowing an alternative to accessing these services on a device...doesn't make sense to me. But that's just my opinion.
Here is how the problem presented itself for me.
Lumia 900 for about a year now. Over 1000 songs downloaded via zune pass (not purchased). My PC is windows 7. Sync all my songs between my pc and my lumia 900. Bought lumia 920. Plugged it in, downloaded new windows phone app for my pc. It did sync all my music from my Zune app on my pc to the new windows phone app on my pc. Then i proceeded to sync all my music to my shiny new lumia 920. All my music that I had now will not play on my 920 because of the DRM message.
All music that I ***PURCHASED*** works just fine because i purchased the DRM rights as opposed to "renting" them w/ my zune pass subscription.
Music that i have downloaded directly to my new lumia 920 from the xbox music store will play perfectly fine. Issue is w/ old content from my pc.
Funny you mentioned the album Red. Was in my mustang using sync having my friend play with phone. She picked Red but it only did a 30 second clip. Double checked with other artists and am good. Then I remembered not all artists or maybe albums have a license for streaming. It has always been this way. I am not seeing all 26 gb of songs yet showing up on my 920 so don't know if it is still synching content.
Google Play Music is now live in the UK with the new Music Matching service. I, like many, used a UK/US tunnel app about a year ago to be able to get Play Music and have been enjoying streaming my 'owned forever' (Spotify etc...) and not on my device (iStuff), so why do I need a 32mb phone!!!! (Galaxy Nexus (Nexus 4 when they finally put it up for sale) ever since.
However, now the difficult bit comes......
How do I change my Play Music Account to switch my email from the US site to UK?
Cheers,
Tim

I thought it would just work?
I am in the same boat, haven't tried it yet though!
It appears all that 'frigged' to US are not able to use the Music Matching service. I am quite happy to have all of my music 'removed' and re-upload with Music Matching. There is also the issue with Charts and Purchases still being in US and therefore I cannot buy anything as my 'card' is UK based.

Well I havent bought anything via the US store, I just use the music storage and streaming facility!
Me too, but with the UK Wallet now getting 'cards' and 'gifts' it means we can give/request them as Christmas presents!!!!
Im in the same position, but am not seeing any sort of option for this at all?
Same scenario as the rest of you - UK user, created an account via proxy last year. Scan and match service not working.
In desperation I deleted my entire library to see if this would reset the account - it didn't! :crying:
Have opened a support ticket with Google, will post any updates as and when I hear.
Will be monitoring this thread to see if anyone has a fix

I have a "frigged" Google music account I activated via proxy too.
I uninstalled Google Music on my UK GS3 and when I reinstalled the app the shopping bag was in the Music with prices for songs and albums in GBP.
On my Xoom with US ROM I forced stopped, cleared data and un-installed updates, then updated the app via the play store and the link to the Music Store appeared, this time all in GBP
I have deleted my library and will be watching this thread as music match is, in principal, a great solution.
Just to let you all know - I've had a reply from Google requesting a screen shot of the 'Google Recommends' page listing all song prices in US Dollars.
We'll see where we go from here!
this is very frustrating!
got my nexus a couple of weeks ago and got a bit over excited so signed up for google music using a proxy, then after seeing the poor upload speed I have, decided to wait for the new wonderful scan and match service - so far I haven't got it to work, tried deleting everything from before, including anything I had already uploaded - but it just won't match anything for me, have managed a couple of hundred tunes uploaded in 15 hours, but I'm away tomorrow so my grand plan for using the match service is well and truly rubber ducked!
if anyone figures this out, please shout, very loudly:good:
Same problem here, set up by a proxy 6 months or so ago. I would delete and re-upload by library (even though this would pain me with 10K+ tracks) but it doesn't sound like this fixes the issue. It's all very frustrating.
I will submit a support ticket too and hopefully Google with fix it. Admittedly it is our fault for bodging it, but in fairness Google didn't make it too difficult to do and weren't seemingly bothered. After-all it is only because we're all Android/Google enthusiasts that we bothered doing it in the first place! Fingers crossed for a fix ASAP.
I have received 2 emails back from my own ticket, both not of use:
1. Change the upload location (it's not the upload location of issue)
2. Check my wallet has a UK address (it does)
I have asked for them to change my 'Play connection' from US to UK, or delete my Play subscription completely so as I can reconnect.
Note, like a previous person, I have Clear All Data on my app and Uninstalled Updates. Reinstalling from the play store now bring up a new app with a 'Shopping Bag' for GBP purchases (however, I am still a US user!!!)

any update on this guys?
i send a support thing in and got an email explaining how to shuffle my songs
Update on my ticket (not fixed)....
Google: Did you ever use a US IP address as a workaround to get to Google Music?
Tim: Yes, to be able to register for Google Music (before it was available in the UK) I used a Tunnel app to set my IP to US and then registered. Once Registered I set my IP back to UK
Google: Can you see if you were tyo change your IP to its true location the issue persists?
Tim: I am back to my true location. Google Music only checks the IP location on 1st setup. After that you change it back to UK so everything else works. When I access google music from any device it goes to the US site
Google: To be clear, changing your IP back to UK the issue has resolved itself!!!!!
Tim: No, it has not resolved itself!. "Repeat of previous message", i.e. 1st setup of GM needed US IP, then you set your IP back. If you access from any device - all with different IP's obviously!!!!!! then I get to the US site!!!!!
Does anyone else anything useful from their Google Techs as mine is clearly not aware that IP's exist on different device and generally are not static!
AAARGH!!!!!!

thts pretty funny
What worries me about all this is that we're all dealing with different members of support staff, all of whom seem to be oblivious to everyone else's problem. That suggests to me that it hasn't escalated to anyone who has evolved opposable thumbs that there is a problem to fix....

Hi guys. To start off with.....I'm blonde and technically challanged....so type slow
Is there a way to save my contacts onto my SIM card......I know it saves the contacts onto the computer, but I'd much rather save them onto the SIM
The other question I had was about the Music. This phone advertises that you can download music for free, but I haven't been able to find how to do this.....does this have to be done from the computer? All the music I can find on the phone is charged.
I love this phone, the camera is awesome, the apps I've seen are crazy My only whinge would be the crappiest user guide ever! Honestly, why put all these fantastic features on the phone then not tell you how to operate them? I've managed to muddle my way through most of it (blonde hair and all) but would have been easier to sit down and read how to do it.
Thanks in advance guys.
To save to sim card, People hub, three dots bottom right, settings, import sim contacts, should have the option to export too.
Not sure about the music as I only use what I have on PC or buy from store, I did hear you can stream for free using either Nokia Music or xbox I think?
Have fun :fingers-crossed:

Thank you so much for your answer. No, there is no option to export but I found where you sent me Thanks again.
About the music, you have to download Nokia Music (when it doesnt show in the market, change your country to UK in the settings>region) and there you will see the mix radio. You can stream free music (with internet connection) then make it available offline.

Hi guys. To start off with.....I'm blonde and technically challanged....so type slow
Is there a way to save my contacts onto my SIM card......I know it saves the contacts onto the computer, but I'd much rather save them onto the SIM
The other question I had was about the Music. This phone advertises that you can download music for free, but I haven't been able to find how to do this.....does this have to be done from the computer? All the music I can find on the phone is charged.
I love this phone, the camera is awesome, the apps I've seen are crazy My only whinge would be the crappiest user guide ever! Honestly, why put all these fantastic features on the phone then not tell you how to operate them? I've managed to muddle my way through most of it (blonde hair and all) but would have been easier to sit down and read how to do it.
Thanks in advance guys.

No, you cannot save contacts to the SIM. They are automatically saved to your Live/Outlook.com account online.
Apart from the Nokia mix radio app that allows you to make mixes available for offline listening there are some apps that allow you to download individual tracks and create your own playlists for offline use. One such app is Amazing Music.
